Why Clean Your Dryer Vent?
While it might not be one of your highest priorities, there are plenty of viable reasons to clean your dryer vent on a regular basis. It’s not something you should avoid if you want to protect your dryer, home, and the health of you and your family. Here are some specific reasons for cleaning the dryer vent in your home.
Allergens
The lint and dust that accumulates in your dryer vent and ductwork are filled with particles that act as allergens. These are allergens that can create and aggravate health problems for you and your family members.
Fire
As lint/dirt/dust accumulates into piles, it becomes a fire hazard because there is no such thing as dryer lint that contains fire retardants that will slow the spreading of fire.
Pests
Rats and certain kinds of insects are always on the prowl for materials that they can use to create bedding and nesting. Lint is one of their favorite materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to clean a standard dryer vent system?
It depends on the size of the dryer and the extent of the dryer’s vent and ductwork. With that said, we can usually clean an entire vent system in less than four hours, barring complications.
What kind of machines and tools are used to clean dryer vents?
A layperson might try to clean vents and ducts by inserting tools a trying to pull or push the lint through. As a professional vent cleaning company, we use a commercial-grade vacuum that comes with an appropriate set of attachments. These attachments will allow us to clean all types of vent systems.
How does regular vent cleaning save on energy costs?
The longer it takes to dry a load of clothes, the more electricity you will have to use to keep the dryer running. This is especially true if you have an electric dryer as opposed to a gas dryer. Cleaning the vent system helps the dryer dry faster and more efficiently, which saves time and stress on your electric bill.
Do your services cover a commercial laundry business?
Absolutely. We offer professional vent cleaning to residents, commercial laundry businesses, and businesses that do a lot of their own laundry (restaurants with cloth napkins and table clothes).
